Took the MK12 Mod 0 to a DMR match this Sunday. Did ok. Despite the range not having longer distances they made up for it by making the targets super small.

Just finished my MK12 Mod 1 build with a carbine length buffer tube and SOPMOD stock. Just wanted everyones recommendation on a buffer and buffer spring. From my online research, people are using a standard carbine buffer spring and either an H1 or H2 buffer. I dont want anything crazy. Right now I have a standard spring, Springco blue spring, H1 and H2 buffers. I havent had time to shoot it yet

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By thatARMSguy: Love it! Which sleeve did you chop, #36 or #38? #36 S-EX Chopped it years before they became unobtanium...probably wouldn't have done that had I known :) But oh well. At the time, having a functional rear sight was of more value to me. Edit: Then again, I feel like I have an ARMS rear sight sitting around that was unusable...perhaps due to a chop? So maybe it was a #38 Who knows, she's cut now! |

Long shot but I'm looking for the 30mm Wilcox MRDS ring mount if anyone has a lead on one.
Would even settle for the repro Onyx made a while back. |

Gonna have to pick up some of that to try for myself. I agree on the AAC not being bad for the price, at all. I’ve shot a bit of the 77gr OTM and have been pleased all things considered. Now I’m off to grab some of the BH. |

To me the whole point of a Mk12 shooting Mk262 is to hit stuff far away. Calling wind is hard enough, I don’t need to worry about vertical dispersion due to inconsistent velocity too. 100fps from a 10 shot string is bad. |

It's a variable I like to minimize, if possible. I've shot matches with 1.5-2MOA plates out to 700yds. Inches start to matter and anything you can (reasonably) do to minimize variables is a plus in my book. Plenty of match grade .223/5.56 has been made without triple digit extreme spreads. Up to the individual if the added cost, or time/attention to detail if handloading, is worth it for them. |

Basically, just a 3-4' tall cardboard box that you can mount vertically to see how the rounds do elevation-wise at distance when holding the same point of aim. |

ETA: saw the velocity ES post. That's kinda sad, as 100fps will start to matter at 500yds and beyond depending on your targets. To me the whole point of a Mk12 shooting Mk262 is to hit stuff far away. Calling wind is hard enough, I don’t need to worry about vertical dispersion due to inconsistent velocity too. 100fps from a 10 shot string is bad. Agreed. You guys make a big deal about a small issue. 100fps ES makes up 5" at 500yds (1MOA) vertical dispersion. On top of that, based on stats 2/3 or 66% of those rounds will fall within 2 SD which works out to less than half of that dramatic 5" vertical dispersion at 500yds.....2-1/2"..... Things start to fall off fast past 500, at 600 I get 8.74” and by 700 it’s 13”. Also this is from only a 10 shot sample, the ES is only going to get worse with a larger sample. I guess it’s possible he got the hottest and weakest round in the same box but that’s not realistic. Another minor factor to consider is the difference in time of flight, I’m getting almost 2” more wind drift from the 2783 round vs 2883 at 600yds in a 10mph wind. |

For the "average shooter" staying at or under 500yds, the SD/ES aren't necessarily a deal-breaker. Edit: I forgot this is a perfect excuse for gratuitous gun-porn on the 600yd line.

I didn’t realize they had 2 different 77gr loads, $0.62/rd is pretty damn compelling for the scenario you give. Pics from the gong range, targets out to a mile

Shot with the AEM5 for the first time yesterday on the Mod1. Really nice and smooth. Definitely the quietest can I now own. Groups did tighten up a bit. But seems that my bolt picked up some velocity and is over running the bolt catch on the last round. Anyone else have that issue? This is an A1 stock/buffer set up so not quite sure where to go yet. With a carbine just pop in a an H2 and go.

With a carbine just pop in a an H2 and go. That’s exciting! I haven’t shot mine yet and probably won’t get the chance for a couple weeks. It’s the 30cal version on a 6.5 Grendel so being over-bored my expectations for sound suppression are tempered a bit. I’ve got a 308 barrel out getting contoured for a different rifle so I’ll be able to do the Pepsi challenge with 30cal bullets and other suppressors. |

You could add a tungsten weight or two to the rifle buffer. Just pull it open and switch out a steel weight. That will help slow it down some.

Is it the same size as the carbine ones?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BravoSierra: Is it the same size as the carbine ones? The actual weights inside should be the same size. You'll just need to drive out the roll pin to bet the bumper off and swap out the metal weights. I'm sure someone makes "H2" or "H3" rifle length buffers that are plug and play, but swapping out the weights from steel to tungsten would probably be cheaper and give you more flexibility to get the system tuned to your ammo and can. ETA: something like this AR-15 Tungsten Recoil Buffer Weights 1.5 oz. (3-Pack) |

Thanks, was looking at those. Considered Slashes, but don't want to shell out that kind of coin if I don't need to. (Says the guy with a $4K rifle)

Coyote Tan (er Brown?) TAS-1 Sling Kits:
I've assembled majority of the Coyote components we needed to make the TAS-1 kits. I'm telling y'all straight up, I am not happy with the 1/2" nylon for the Rifle Stock and Front Handguard Adapters. Nobody I can find on google weaves a 1/2" tubular nylon in Coyote Tan498 (USMC Coyote), Coyote Tan499 (US Army match for OCP Multicam) or Coyote Tan 500 (from the DCU MOLLE).  Attached FileThere is one other option I can find, a 3/8" Mil-W-17337, which is the same specification line I use for the UMMSS, the Rifle Stock, and Front Handguard Adapters. This webbing is Solution-Dyed Mil-W-17337 spec in Coyote, that will be like used on the USMC FILBE Ruck, the dull, cotton canvas looking type weapon, like the top 2 examples in this pic, the 1/2" OD tubular nylon in the center and the two tan shade 1/2" nylon webbing I have used on these slings:  Attached FileI used 2 shades of Coyote, a medium shade darker than the Tan500 for DCU, but lighter than the USMC Tan498 for one sling and a darker Coyote closer to USMC Tan498 and a better match for the 1" heavy duty flat nylon the sling itself is made from:  Attached FilePhotos taken under indoor LED lighting against a USMC Tan498 1000d parachute kit type bag. Approximate comparison, image this 3/4" wide Coyote Tan 498 Solution Dyed webbing as 3/8" wide, against the Mil-W-17337 1" Coyote nylon webbing used for the Rifle Stock, Front Handguard and UMMSS Adapters.  Attached FileThe TAS-1 Sling itself is good to go. Just the handguard and stock adapters are not 100% representative of the original construction. I don't know what you guys want me to do. Make kits with available type components then "if" 1/2" coyote tubular webbing turns up make up replacement handguard and stock adapters to buy? |
